Abstract:		 Following proposals by McCarthy and Stone (Developments) Ltd (MSD) for a residential development on the former site of Kingsley Cottage, Kingsley Fields, Nantwich, Cheshire County Council Historic Environment Service (CCCHES) requested that a programme of archaeological monitoring should accompany any groundworks. The development area lies adjacent to a Roman industrial site of national significance whilst a previous evaluation identified the presence of a Roman road. In 2007 Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) was commissioned to undertake the archaeological watching brief. Stripping revealed extensive deposits of modern made ground and re-deposited material, sealed beneath which were identified a number of archaeological features cutting the natural alluvium. Chief among these was the predicted Roman road, which was likely to date to the second century AD. A single pit from which a small assemblage of Roman pottery was recovered was also identified, and may be indicative of low intensity roadside activity. It seems likely that the present development site falls outside of the Roman industrial zone. The road would appear to have fallen out of use prior to the fourth century, and was sealed by successive alluvial layers containing Roman artefacts. The watching brief identified a resumption of activity in the post-medieval period, with a number of structural, drainage, boundary and pit features likely to be associated with Kingsley Cottage. The earliest finds suggested a seventeenth-century commencement, although those of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century date were far more common and are likely to relate to the main period of post-medieval activity on the site.
